    From memory, isn’t it the loan interest where the loan was created only at date of acquisition?

    Dear sir
    there is no loan interest in this sum

    and i know 20 million will be fair value adjustment for goodwill calculation, and is there a amortisation ?

    . question says :In addition S owns the registration of a popular internet domain name. The registration, which had a negligible cost, has a ?ve year remaining life (at the date of acquisition); however, it is renewable inde?nitely at a nominal cost. At the date of acquisition the domain name was valued by a specialist company at $20 million. The fair values of the plant and the domain name have not been re?ected in S’s ?nancial statement
    thanks in advance

    Well spotted San! I have missed an important point from the question!

    If you look at past papers for F7, December 2009, question 1, point 2, I believe that you will find the reason for 11,500

    If you still don’t understand, let me know

    Meanwhile, thank you for pointing out this error – my bad, I’m sorry
